  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Why is someone reviewing a recipe that they didn't even make??

I make something VERY similar to this, but a lot less, um, complicated (and admittedly, a lot less "homemade").

Basically, I take one box of spice cake mix and one can of pumpkin. Mix together. Pour into cupcake pan and cook as you would with the box's cupcake directions.

The end. It's easy for last minute goodies and is lower in calorie and fat thanks to the fact that eggs and oil aren't needed!

Don't like cream cheese, I used a can whipped cream frosting, it was good, or skip the frosting and enjoy as a muffin.
